You have the United States mistaken for Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

A little history lesson. The American Revolution basically says that the US refuses to be subservient to Great Britain. We're not a part of the UK's Commonwealth games. We're not servants to her Royal Majesty. And we sure are not celebrating the UK's colonist history! Coupled with the fact that the Pilgrims (and later immigrants) came to the United States to escape Britain and it should be understood why the general attitude toward British culture/history in the United States is that of apathy.

Your final sentence should read "Coupled with the fact that the Pilgrims (and later immigrants) came to the United States to escape Britain and it should be understood why the general attitude toward the rest of the worlds culture/history in the United States is that of apathy."

Almost an entire continent full of people who stole the land from the rightful owners and are proud of having no history and no clue what's going in the rest of the world. Yay.

Edit: As for your original quote, if you have no interest in our culture or history, why do Americans go so crazy over the British Royal family? Perhaps you're trying to imply YOUR views are that of your fellow countrymen.
